PARIS Bistro Des Augustins

Before our time slot to visit Notre Dame, we went to Bistro Des Augustins for lunch, per Philippe's recommendation.

Their specialty is the potato au gratin, a classic French dish consisting of layers of thinly sliced potatoes, Swiss cheese, and creamy garlicky sauce. Thanh can make this at home, but we are very interested in tasting this at this highly reviewed restaurant.

Their menu included many different variations of the dish, and we chose the Paysan version that included bacon and egg. It was delicious, and it inspired us to try adding ingredients like pancetta at home.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Highly recommended. Plan for enough time to get the food and enjoy it. One order of potato au gratin is enough for two, perfect with a side of salad. Very close to the Ile de la Cité, where Saint Chapelle and Notre Dame are located.
